Process
I've been waiting about a month for feedback on my interview, which I spent a whole day on.
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. I was then sent a 3-hour online assessment, which is that API test that everyone did. I passed and got an onsite, which took all day long.
I usually don't write reviews, but as mentioned before, there is quite a bit of hypocrisy. They tout transparency and responsiveness but do not practice what they preach.
I read the reviews on here about being ghosted and thought, "Okay, maybe just a couple of people here and there." It seems like they are working on it with the responses to those bad experiences on Glassdoor, but it appears this practice is still in use.

HubSpot Work Experiences
- 2.0Good for remote, poor for anything elseSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJuly 9, 2025Pros: Remote-first culture, decent pay if you live in MCOL.Cons: A high-performance culture often means lots of useless code commits to meet PR goals. Directionless leadership rarely takes any accountability.
- 5.0We are now building world-class web applications at scaleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 12, 2012Pros: - Working with dozens of other smart, motivated producers. - There is a diverse mix of talent and experience on the dev team. There are some legit front-end engineers and designers, a handful of experienced people who have built serious systems before, and many young engineers who are learning as we go. - Plenty of opportunities to grow, own major projects, and solve hard problems. We have technical challenges that very few web companies ever even see. - Exposure to startup culture, decisions, and growth stages of a business. There are tons of opportunities to learn lessons from guest lecturers and some of HubSpot's own. - Management has bet the business on reinvigorating and building a successful product company. They cleaned house and are behind product and engineering 100%. It is very exciting.Cons: - High expectations and not a lot of formal process or training programs in place for developers. - Developers must be prepared to move fast and learn by themselves. - The company is still transitioning, so there are some older legacy projects that have yet to be replaced, and the rest of the company is still learning about the new products.
